Fraser Cain of the wonderful Universe Today website is hosting the current (and next) Carnival of Space, a collection of the best blog posts about What’s Out There. I went through and read a half dozen of those posts in a row, and they’re really good. Go read it!

About Bad Astronomy
If you went to BadAstronomy.com and found yourself here, never fear: the BA Blog has moved to its new home at Discover Blogs. The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking and all that) is still online, too.
Phil Plait, the creator of Bad Astronomy, is an astronomer, lecturer, and author. After ten years working on Hubble Space Telescope and six more working on astronomy education, he struck out on his own as a writer. He has written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic, and fights misuses of science as well as praising the wonder of real science.
Bad Astronomy was chosen as one of Time.com's Best Blogs of 2009. 
Open Lab 2008 is a collection of the best blog posts of the year, all in one place. Are you a science junkie? Yeah, you want it. -

"If things worked the way I wanted them to, any reporter about to do another 'sensational' story on deadly meteors would consult this volume, and bang! common sense would find its way into the news. How strange would that world be?"
-- Adam Savage, Mythbusters"Reading this book is like getting punched in the face by Carl Sagan. Frightening, but oddly exhilarating."

I like this post better. Not so much yelling and arguing. Calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean…

Hmmm, interesting,,, but the space cynics group really don’t know what’s been happening recently, as in Launch Point Technologies and their magnetic launch ring. It’s a cool idea, one in which I can detect no fault.

Was just visiting Amanda Bauer’s blog about observing in Chili, and she has this amazing photo of the milky way on there. I want to set it as my wall paper but the picture is way too small, anyone have a bigger version?
Btw, here is the picture link: http://www.kaikouranightsky.co.nz/images/milkyway.jpg

Carnival actually means ‘goodbye to meat’, but in this case I guess it means hello cotton candy!
